Chemotherapy in Malaysia
Overview
Chemotherapy is a systemic treatment that uses drugs to destroy cancer cells throughout the body. It works by targeting rapidly dividing cells, which is characteristic of cancer cells. Chemotherapy may be used as primary treatment, before surgery to shrink tumors (neoadjuvant), after surgery to eliminate remaining cells (adjuvant), or for palliative care to relieve symptoms. Treatment is typically given in cycles with rest periods to allow healthy cells to recover.
